Hamadan Persian Rugs
This magnificent semi antique Hamadan Persian rug at 10'2" x 5'1" showcases the timeless artistry of western Persia's renowned weaving tradition. Crafted between 40-60 years ago in the ancient city of Hamadan, this exceptional piece displays the masterful Herati pattern interwoven with an enchanting Afshan all-over design, creating a visual symphony that captures the essence of Persian carpet weaving excellence. The rich madder red foundation flows seamlessly with deep navy blue and cream accents, while burgundy, ivory, dark red, and indigo details create a sophisticated color palette that speaks to generations of refined taste.
Hamadan, known in Persian as åãÏÇä, stands as one of Persia's oldest carpet weaving centers, where nomadic traditions merged with urban sophistication to create rugs of extraordinary character. The weavers of this historic region perfected the art of combining geometric precision with organic flowing motifs, evident in this rug's intricate Herati fish pattern that symbolizes abundance and prosperity. The Afshan design, meaning "scattered" in Persian, represents the natural distribution of flowers across a garden, reflecting the Persian love for paradise gardens and their symbolic representation of divine beauty.
The carefully selected wool fibers, hand-spun and naturally dyed using traditional methods, create a lustrous pile that has gracefully aged to perfection over decades of gentle use. Each symmetrical Ghiordes knot was tied by skilled artisans who inherited their craft through generations, making this a one-of-a-kind hand-knotted masterpiece that elevates any interior space with authentic Persian heritage. The natural cotton foundation provides exceptional durability while allowing the wool pile to maintain its characteristic flexibility and softness underfoot.
At Los Angeles Home of Rugs, this semi antique treasure represents the perfect balance of size and presence for dining rooms, living areas, or sophisticated home offices where its 10'2" x 5'1" foot dimensions create an elegant focal point without overwhelming the space. The madder red's warm earthiness harmonizes beautifully with the cool navy blue depths, while cream and ivory highlights brighten the overall composition, making it versatile enough to complement both traditional and contemporary décor schemes. The burgundy and dark red undertones add richness and depth, while indigo accents provide that distinctive Persian mystique that has captivated collectors for centuries.
